Often, a project needs to revise existing assets previously checked in from other projects. For example, a page on a corporate Web site might include biographies of company executives. With the arrival of a new executive, the text needs to be changed. To do so, you can add the checked-in version of this text asset to a new project, where it becomes the working version.
To add an existing asset to a project:
Display the Assets tab for the target project (see View Project Assets).
Click Add Asset to Project. This option appears only if the project is open for editing (see Non-Editable Projects ).
In the Repository field, select the versioned repository that stores this asset.
In the Asset Type field, select the asset’s type (see Asset Types).
Click Add Existing. The Asset Picker appears with two tabs:
Search lets you query the versioned repository for assets by name or partial name, and choose from the results list.
Browse lets you browse through the hierarchy of asset folders for the desired asset.
Click Add.
When you finish adding assets, click Close.
The system adds the asset to the project and gives it the current (or working) version number (see Asset Version Numbering for more information).
